Buying a Convertible Single to Double Stroller

The news that you are expecting your second child is one of the most exciting things to hear. Making preparations for your family's new addition can be challenging.

One of them is deciding on the most suitable double pram to meet your requirements. This article will explain what options are available, as well as some suggestions to help you select the right one for your growing family.

Convertible double prams

If you're looking to purchase a stroller that can grow with your family, a convertible single to double pram is an excellent alternative. These clever frames, like the Cybex Aton 4 Twin, can be expanded in width to accommodate a second child and will typically have the option of adding an additional shopping basket or even two carrycots/car seats (with upper adapters and lower adapters available) so that you can begin your family with just one buggy and then upgrade to twins without needing to purchase a new pram and again. They usually have more configurations and seating options for both children than other styles of double prams, and offer better weight distribution, so they're generally easier to maneuver. Pros: Simple to use, compact and versatile. Cons: It takes up less space and Prams storage for both children compared to other designs.

Tandem (in-line) double prams

The name suggests that tandem prams have two bassinets or prams seats for prams that are positioned one ahead of the other. Tandem prams are generally narrower than side by side double prams and can be easier to manoeuvre through doors and on public transport. However they don't have as much storage space and can be more difficult to access when both seats are being used if your toddler is sitting in the front seat.

Some first-time parents opt for a tandem stroller to protect their investment should they have more children of the same age. Our DUO2 pram is a well-known example. It's designed as an individual buggy and can be converted to a twin stroller simply by adding an additional seat. It can also be converted back to an individual stroller when your child's older one outgrows it.

Tandem prams are available in a variety of configurations with the option of an infant to lie in a bassinet for the pram on top while an older child is seated in the seat below. The majority of tandem prams can be converted to an a travel system by putting a car capsule in the top seat.

To give you the maximum flexibility, a double side-by-side pram double lets both children enjoy the ride together and interact as they go. This will help prevent them from wake each other up.

A side-by-side can be the ideal choice for grandparents looking to join in on the fun - they can carry both children around, and help with shopping, running errands or attending events. They are usually less expensive than tandem prams, making them a great option for grandparents to assist with babysitting.

Single prams

A single pram is capable of accommodating one seat or a bassinet/carry-cot. It is suitable for infants to about 4 years old. age. Four years old. Many single prams also allow for a toddler board to be connected to the back so that another child can stand or sit (depending on the type of toddler board) while you push the stroller forward.

Some parents who are new to the family decide to protect their pram from future damage purchase by purchasing double options, such as our DUO2. This means that you can use the pram in a single mode while you have a single child, and then change it into a tandem double pram when baby number two is born. This will save you the cost and burden of having to purchase an additional double pram.

Tandem or in-line double prams are wider than side by side double prams, yet they are more maneuverable on footpaths and in shops. However, they are more difficult to use during jogging and will require greater effort to push when going up or down hills.

Side by side prams are more spacious than tandem or in-line double prams. They are a good option when you are planning to have two children of similar age - the children will be able to see and interact with one another from their seats. They are less maneuverable than tandem strollers, and may not be able to pass through doors as easily.

Non-convertible side by side prams are not suitable for use in single mode - you will have to buy a new pram or stroller for your younger child. They have the advantage of being less expensive and last longer than convertible double prams, because they aren't built to be used in single and double modes. The main drawback is that your child will soon outgrow the side-byside seats and will have to be moved to a toddler's chair, which can be costly.
